The Badger Resistance Army

Buy the Book

What if badgers decide to fight back against destructive humans, and a 12-year-old girl can hear them talk?

When young badger Nim sees her woodland home ripped apart, her father calls on the Folk of the Field and Forest to destroy the village and drive humans away forever. 

Nim’s instincts tell her this plan will bring disaster to them all. 

She seeks help from the Truth-Sayer Hare, but Lloer’s advice is full of riddles, and she tasks Nim with what seems an impossible mission. 

One that brings her closer to their ancient human enemy than she could have ever imagined.

  • A richly imagined delight of a book that places animals at the heart of their own story.

    Through Sally, the girl who discovers a long-forgotten special connection between humans and the animal world, we can rediscover our own joy in the flora and fauna of our shared earth, and find hope.

  • The blend of fantasy, folklore and the real world felt just right

    Catherine’s writing is genuinely beautiful. The ecology is spot on throughout, trickier themes are well-handled, and at the end, some lovely info about real badgers is shared too. If you are after a gentle but powerful story about badgers, or know a young person who might be, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this one.
